Happy Blogiversary to Me

Today my blog is two years old. I had remembered last week but after being so busy with the Expo over the weekend and trying out some of the new things I learned I almost forgot what today was. Thanks to Thomas MacEntee's Facebook announcement I had a friendly reminder. That is what happens when you don't check your editorial calendar.

I started after the Family History Expo in January of 2010 after being encouraged by Thomas and Lisa Louise Cooke to start a blog. I am so glad I lisitened. It started off very humble but with enthusiasm. I didn't really think I would have a lot of topics to post about but I decided nothing ventured nothing gained. First Blog post here.

Because of other blogs and becoming a follower of other blogs I have found topics to use as ways to record my memories and to help me share my family stories. I have meet other people some near and some far. I have made friends. Most importantly I have grown and I have started writing the stories of my life to share with my family. As my tag line suggests:

It started as a place to share family stories

but it has turned into something bigger.

I haven't found any long lost cousins, Hartmann, Spahn, Jirak, so if you are out there please look for me. My Chaplin cousins have enjoyed what I have shared and that is fun and I am very glad for that and my relationship with them.

I Believe
